Ah, i british manager, welcome to the dublin years, asia, glad you could join us. Taiwan is conducting its largest ever military drills which simulate the repulsion of an invading force. Its a scenario based on the increased military threat from china in recent years. Beijing sees taiwan as part of its territory and hasnt ruled out the use of force to re unify it with the mainland that and the ongoing war in ukraine has forced taipei to actively consider how it would defend itself against a possible chinese attack. Did not respond and zachary li reports on how that concern is playing out in the military drills the roof r o m p only the south of the warning segments can be heard. Please instruct every one to 6 shorter immediately. Cities, of course high was shut down for 30 minutes for this nation wide military, 3 o. The military, i says, i says this year are the largest in taiwan history. As you can see behind me or cause have been forced to pull over to the side of the road. And everyone is to seek shelter, doing the air read jail. How many people are taking the exercise seriously in light of the war . Ukraine, that has served as a wake up call for taiwan over the thread from china. Not. And i think the drills necessary. We should be prepared beforehand. So hows the day man . Was through the exercise. We know what instructions to follow in case of a war. I think if the government held drills more frequently, people would know how to react in an emergency situation. Shit up all, some down. The total was because of the war in ukraine. We want to know where we can go and hide when we get a tax id. For example, where are the shelters in taiwan . The novel is it does all fun councils. I 90 ambulances in fire trucks play encoding rule in these 3. 0, the rescue workers pack piece putting out of fire after supposed me sell attack the tow and hes got them and wants to make it as real as possible to risk Public Awareness of emergency. Were nearly all the purpose of this years exercise is to test how we would react in a real war. And we will do a review after the exercises and see how we can improve one that also the 3. 00 oh, 5. 00 dave military exercise will conduct the same time. And this will give him ukraine in made. Reservists, dick lunches on dirt, breech, others vocal, some practice in urban warfare. And on the open sea, several ships carry out may new verse. I was president , how you win over to the field . Only naveed these 2 years away. This extra and, you know, demonstrated the ability and determination of the soldiers of the republic of china to defend the country. Lets continue to work hard and gotta homeland together. Chinas threads, pumpkin pie one to stayed up, preparation for chinese. A pep response page in is concerned. Any attempts by ty, ones to come fonts is military will be doomed to fail. Im joined now from type paid by law to trying. Hes a legislator of the ruling democratic, Progressive Party and culture of parliament, Foreign Affairs and National Defense committee. Doctor law on the subject of a chinese invasion of taiwan thea, director b buns said a few days back. It was more a question of how and when they would do it, as opposed to whether does your government concur with this assessment . Also Civil Community imbalance in no time, i say it has become a wider and they dont, concerns about the units being balanced in the region will prompt you to take them all re record action against taiwan. So we have to be paid for the worst case scenario. We are not in those idea that is about when that china, when bedtime one hour proudie just make sure that china will never use force against anyone. But show that factor into your thinking. Do you think and envision of taiwan is imminent . Well, it is a possibility that china though, then found the lessons outside rush, an invasion of cran, that china i cant take her. Shell wool. They have the shell work in the time was trip. So we had to make sure that a towel one well pay our sales for the worst case scenario. Im more employee and well make sure that china would think twice before they move on to death. Hes gonna Community Actions against i one. And i am considering that a largest ever military drill of the taiwan is gotten to conduct and conducting is all about this. But when the Chinese Foreign ministry spokesman, johnny john was asked about there, he said, and i court taiwan to attempt to confront china militarily, is akin to a mantas trying to obstruct a chariot. In the end it is doomed to fail how many fuel costs the hyperbola aside, joe knew gen isnt wrong, is he and he is wrong because tawana is needed to leave capable of defending ourselves. But more importantly, i, every year we have this kind of ano needed to jail. Ah, we pails ourselves full any possible evasion in any forms against taiwan or more importantly, ah, we are developing the so called, i submit you will here to deter china on taking a mutation against hire one. So yes, china is are developing his music power. I sniff canadian the past few years. I, taiwan, hes also preparing ourselves, are in a similar way to defend ourselves. But can taiwan defend itself from a potential chinese and vision without direct us military support . Well, it turns east, the key is when you call it difficulties fan taiwanda is possible and is very likely that is how much has successfully deterred china. So im taking any, any mediation against time one. So we had to make sure that we have credible robust deterrence. Does that involve a guarantee of your support and you as intervention militarily, as an acid rain, but not just, i mean, literally, i think the case of they are the best guessing point is you can, i can have a station again as russia and the Political Coalition amanda like to my to countries. I was also very important. So in that, in addition to military or to toys, economic and political Cooperation Among democracies, also very important in deterring china or any aggressors. Im taking a regular edges. Now joanna has warned of god resolute and strong measures if you ask how Speaker Nancy Pelosi goes ahead with her proposed visit to taiwan. Should she reconsider her trip . Well, 1st of all, china opposes any visit by any far inputted coin eaters to taiwan. That happens all the time and we should not allow. We cannot allow china to take a which it, it, i can visit how i know nat. So, you know, we are hopeful that tab speaker, im lucy, can come visit taiwan and i see that didnt defeat democracy, countries. So we are hoping that she can visit taiwan. But again, we should not allow china to take who came come to town. Thats what you say, but then when President Joe Biden see that the u. S. Military assessment is that the trip is court. Not a good idea right now. Is President Biden being over cautious . Well, i dont know why the president attended by then said that bob is dia, they have concerns about any unwanted aid you know, or events happening before the biden, as city in p, not telephone cars. So thats probably one of reasons why ah, there would be to say, shouldnt take some mo, cosivity. I love that attitude towards that kind of visit. Are you at all concerned about any potential cost to taiwan if nancy pelosi visits the island . While china has always used these kind of escalation attention in at our state to prevent ah, to avoid any ha, you know, improvement of ties. But its how when youre on attentions and to deter honda for leaders to come visit, i one thats best kill and destiny a strategy. But i dont think that that, that is that like to stay because we continue to see another leaders comp time one. When you leave it there for the timing, but thank you so much for joining us to do a lot trying from the ruling a d p. P, i guess on whats her . Thank you him. Its ah k pulp.

When i didnt begin training, i train every day of the week. I had dance classes every single day. I did those for months and months and months and then i finally, the day came where my company told me i was getting prepared for debut. And like alexa, many more trainees have to go through a decade of training without knowing if they ever get to the view. This, in addition to harsh training conditions, has been difficult for overseas performers to adapt to experts say some trainees say dating and phones a band and weekly way checks are a must experts say the industry is now being forced to adapt, so they controlled top talents from across the globe, i know anderson has decided to take a different path.
